i think you will find that swapping frames does not save money nor time. first off by cutting up both trucks you lose the use of both trucks for years while you construct one truck, if it ever gets completed. this means you need to buy another vehicle just for the build. selling the newer truck will probably pay for most of the parts to get the parts to build the old truck.
my 58 has been on the road since 2010. other than mustII ifs, crate motor and rebuilt 700r4; it is mostly junkyard parts on a stock frame. living in snow country limits my use but i still manage to put 5000 miles per year on it.
